The Result of Speculation-The Embez-
zIer's Confession.
PHILADELPHIA, May 2i.-MOrcom l..
Seguin, manager of the Philadelphia I'M
brella Company, has left this city, leaving,
it is alleged, a deficiency of So. .O0O in his
accounts. Before departing Seguin made
an open confession to his friend and busi-
ness associate, George C Baker, declaring
at the same time his determination to fly
from the disgrace that must fall upon him
if he should remain in Philadelphia. Se'
gums victims are mostly members of his
own family.
Brother-in-law Richardson allowed his
confidence to carry him further. lie en-
trusted Seguin with ST., 900 outside OF the
money which he put into the Umbrella
Company. Seguin was to invest the Sl7,
900 to good advantage. Mr.. Richardson
now has good reasons for believing that he
failed to do 80.
The defaulter's wrong doing covers a
period of years. Stock speculation Is the
main cause of his downfall. Every loss
was followed by draft upon the Umbrella
COmpany's funds until the total became "a
large that he was forced TO fly in order ia
avoid the approaching disclosure. Seguin
was rather regular in his habits, seldom
being absent from home in the evening.
He drank but little and never a. excess,
and was rather particular in his aSsocia'
tiOns. lie was the manager Of the concern,
and made 1000 year out Of it. He is
only 20 years of age. His flight has COM
pletely broken up the business. Not
word has been heard of him since his de,
partuTe.

FINE GAME OF BALL
ON THE ISLAND PARK BETWEEN WHEEL
ING AND MANSFIELD, YESTERDAY,
In Which the Home Team is Detssed-S,suoen-
vile Again Downs Sandusky Akron
Takes Columbus Gore and Zanssyille
Beats the 'Gandsrs

The second game yesterday between the
Mansfield and the Green Stockings was
one of the best yet seen on the home
grounds this season. Errors were conspic-
uous by their absence, while the slugging
was heavy enough to please almost any
body. The visitors won the game square
ly on its merits and have reason to feel
proud of their victory, as it was well de-
served.
Smiths long hit for . home run in the
third gave Wheeling the lead but II was
short-lived, rs the Ohio team pounded out
four scores in the fourth and assumed con.
troll of matters from that time on. Wheel
ing had two men on bases and only one out
several times afterwards, hut they could
not get in their hits at the right time and
so their chance to win was lost. England,
Mansfeld's oue-armed twirler, pitched =
good game, and succeeded in getting .
base hit OIL Smiths delivery.
The threatening weather kept . great
many away who would otherwise have
gone, and the attendance, in consequence,
was the smallest yet seen ut the Park.
There will doubtless be q big crowd to-day
If everything is favorable for game, q
everybody will expect to see an interesting
contest fos the supremacy. The Mansfield
club is a good one and will give our boys
lots of work 10 win.
Dunn and westlake will occupy the
points for the home team while Miller and
Grumbling will otiiciate for the visitors.
The full score yesterday was as follows:

from the Government at Washington to
the note sent to Secretary Bayard by Lord
Salisbury, on March oath, concerning the
Canadian fisheries question. The Govern
ment would, therefore, he said, adopt sim
liar measures respecting the treatment of
American fishermen in Canadian waters to
those observed last season, and trusted
Canada would apply them with Judgment
aud moderation, while it hoped that cap.

necessary their being called into requisi-
